Where Simon (Fred Hechinger) and Kate (Julia Rehwald) died not as heroic supernatural fighters but deviant Shadyside scapegoats, Camp Nightwing emphasizes the playground cruelness of Shadysiders bullied by elitist Sunnyvale snobs. It’s the ultimate fascination of these Fear Street movies thus far. In continuing 1994’s division between Sunnyvale superiority and Shadyside imprisonment, 1978 stays heartfelt about its “lost youth” subplot.
We relive the merciless spree as Deena would hear each gory detail about dismembered victims, praying there could be information that protects the now-possessed Sam (Olivia Scott Welch)-not just death and more Shadyside hopelessness. It’s the night “Ziggy” Berman (Sadie Sink) lost her sister Cindy (Emily Rudd), and officer Nick Goode (Ted Sutherland) got a taste for saving lives. Thus begins a flashback to the ’70s Camp Nightwing massacre, where Tommy Slater (McCabe Slye) took an axe to innocent campers and staff. Berman (Gillian Jacobs) in hopes of revealing a key to outlasting Sarah Fier’s malevolence. Stine adaptation, just a step backward in terms of honoring horror’s classic iconography as an advantage, not a crutch.Īt the end of last week’s chapter, Deena (Kiana Madeira) and Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.) confront Camp Nightwing survivor C. Not enough to ruin Janiak’s second successful R.L.
It’s more an excuse to please ’80s obsessors with older generational allegiances, but noticeably less adept than 1994. Bed rockin’ moans, narcotics, and decapitations represent this ode to Jason Voorhees’s passion for campground executions as the curse of Sarah Fier boogies back a few decades yet still finds continuity reasons-some explored, others a bit lost in the woods. You can’t accuse Leigh Janiak’s Netflix trilogy (thus far) of not wearing its influences like badges of honor, right down to Harry Manfredini’s infamous Friday the 13th string squeals. Only a week after Fear Street Part 1: 1994capitalizes on pre-aughts horror nostalgia with a vengeance, Fear Street Part 2: 1978 brushes away modern trends for a sleepaway slasher reclamation of the unluckiest day variety.
